Cleanup issues and actions (Getting 1.1 out the door):

- Issue 655,670 Annotations
 I sent questions to Cynthia for the Office team asking about an
aria-annotationtype="true" on April 27 and did not receive a response.
Suggest moving to ARIA 2.0. Chris Galello has left Microsoft, it is outside
the scope of ARIA 1.1 and should be taken into the context of web
applications where we can focus more time on the issue.

Meaty topic Errors: Errors We need a way to expose errors better

- Issue 683, 689, 655, 670 Make aria-level a required attribute for
role="heading". Also discuss values of "auto" and "subsection".
 - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/683
 - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/689

- Issue 651 aria-invalid should support more types of errors. Wants it to
point to an error message
 - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/651
- Issue 669 Need ability to differentiate errors and reference error
messages (Rich)
   - Some comments: Need a separate description for errors so they may be
treated differently from help descriptions. (response time to announce
these needs to be faster)
  - Would like the ability to categorize the importance of messages.
(Cognitive needs the concept of an "importance level")
   - Posted to the list:
